He actually spent a good few seconds staring at one! Unfortunately the magic ends when he decides to stand up, paintbrushes and colorful hands ready to explore white walls. This little project involves a Christmas present for a couple of Georgie’s favorite people. I am having so much fun putting together handmade gifts and in some cases investing in young people’s futures through music and books. I got the Rolling Stones’ Greatest Hits for one of my little brothers- //no, he doesn’t read my blog// I think he’ll be super-excited. I certainly would be. Hint!

Georgie, papa and I enjoyed some good times on Friday evening. With friends, we cooked burgers, listened to music and danced before stumbling home a couple of hours later and hearing the news.
20 children shot dead.
How can this happen? What could have been so wrong with this young man and taken him to an elementary school where he killed six and seven year old angels? How can the parents of these children even begin to process this horrible loss? It has sickened me and knocked me sideways. To think that none of us can protect our babies from dangers such as these is a terrifying thought. Realising that monsters do exist is a terrifying thought.

Notes: I’ve just gotten into Vimeo, an awesome platform for making little videos, so bare with me. I hope to get better within the next ten years.
My mood seems to brighten up once rainy days and chilly nights creep up. Any wonder why? I am a utter romantic when it comes to Christmas. I have beautiful memories of December days in a cosy home filled with music and cooking. My parents went out of their way to ensure we had a magical time even insisting on pretending to be a certain someone with bags of presents until I was 15! Papa and I are going to do our best to make sure that this little boy gets the same beautiful experiences.
